The Respectfully Republican Conversation

Just to set the record straight, the CEO of Cat said,  actually they'll have to lay off more people.   

So when the ONE speaks, how much of it will we ever be able to believe?  Some? None? Or just his salutation?  Did you hear him backtracking already?  UM, er we won't be expecting any change till the end of this year.  $1.1 trillion being spent, and we get UM, and ERs.

Let's all enjoy our $13 a week, next year it will be $8. 

You know what they say........if the houseboat is a rockin don't come a knockin............Shokk

He is the Senator that was the one nay vote that kept that stupid breast cancer research bill from passing that provided millions to a research facility that was operated by one of the biggest Democrat lobbyist in Washington.........and she would have made millions and just a couple of years before they had already given the same research facility millions and they still didn't come close to curing and/or preventing bc..........all he wanted in the bill was that more then just that facility would get research money.......he wanted to spread it around and also not just do breast cancer research........he wanted it for all cancers............I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!...............Sherri maybe he can run for governor............Shokk

They're Just Not That Into You by Monica Crowley (more by this author) Posted 02/13/2009 ET

In 2001, when President Bush's chief political strategist Karl Rove moved from the campaign into a senior position in the White House, the Left went mad: how dare they "politicize" the White House, they yelled. During the 2004 presidential campaign, they went wild with accusations that Rove (and by extension, Bush and Cheney) were working hand-in-glove with the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth to try to sink John Kerry's candidacy.

That was not true, of course, but that hasn't stopped them from making the accusation to this very day.

In 2006, when President Bush's Justice Department exercised its prerogative to dismiss seven U.S. attorneys, the Left screamed bloody murder. They yelped that it was the obscene politicization of the presidency. Rove and his evil band of conservative operatives had to be stopped, they implored, mainly to each other.

And yet.

Nobody has said a word when Barack Obama's chief political strategist, David Axelrod, was brought into the White House in a senior position.

Nobody has said much when The Bama moved the U.S. Census from the Commerce Department to the White House, to be overseen by partisan attack terrier Rahm Emanuel. Congressional redistricting (and whether Republicans will be apportioned more seats in places like Utah, for example) and the allocation of federal money hang in the balance. This is why the Census was kept in the Commerce Department: to make sure it was immune from partisan influence. Until now.

Nobody has said much when The Bama brought into the White House counsel's office a 29 year old campaign operative, Shauna Daly. Her job is one they've created just for her: "White House Counsel Research Director." She holds no law degree and has zero legal training. So what will she be doing on our dime? Digging up dirt on Republicans. She's a longtime opposition research specialist.

And nobody has said much when Rahm began coordinating 527 group attacks on Republicans from the White House. According to www.whorunsgov.com, The Bama's supporters, AFSCME and the labor-backed Americans United for Change, are beginning a major advertising blitz aimed at Republicans who oppose the $1 trillion socialist nightmare. The White House was told in advance about the ads, which go much further in their attacks on Republicans than The Bama has gone publicly. The White House gave its tacit approval to the attacks.

This is all very "Mr. Emanuel, in the West Wing, with the Candlestick."

If President Bush had politicized the White House in this way, everyone from Nancy Pelosi to Keith Olbermann would be calling for his impeachment.

Lesson for Republicans: enough already with the virtues of "bipartisanship." The Bama and the Democrats have no intention of being bipartisan with you. They are doing everything they can to destroy you.

As soon as you realize that The Bama and the Dems just aren't that into you, the faster we can nurse the Party and the conservative movement back to life.

That was Paulette!!!!!!!!!!

Damn Shokk...how'd do you know I'm Gladys? LMAO!

Edited because I drink a little! LMAO!

Can we clone Coburn??

I think that Shirley has reached her limit..........I bet she caught a flight to Hawaii to look for that dang birth certificate!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have a question.  why are repubs being called obstructionists because they want time to read this stimulus bill before voting on it.  i don't give a crap what happened during bushes time or clinton's time.  to me this is just plain common sense regardless of what party is in power.  isn't this what should be done with each and every bills that comes before congress.  i don't want to waste a perfectly good nausea pill on this nonsense.  and of course on a holiday weekend and lets not forget nancy's appt. with the pope.

$13 a week is not going to help most of us.  I saw that program on Appalachia. It's sad.  The only way out for the people in the mountains is work in the coal mines.  Wages and benefits are great ($60,000 to start) but black lung is something they risk getting along with the inherent dangers of mine collapse. But they have to pass drug screens which means lots don't qualify. The one mine has 100 openings!!  The owner purposely lives close by and built a big house to signify his commitment to stay, and to show them what they achieve. But I would be scared to take on a coal mining job .......  Those people live in squalid conditions without food and very little hope. It's shameful we have that going on here. Our $13 a week won't help us but it would change their lives if they had a bus system or if a Customer Service phone bank moved there instead of frickin India!!!!!!!!!!!  There should be tax breaks to get a business to go there!  Those people are not a hopeless case.

I am going to hoard my $13.00 a week...if I live long enough, say another 100 years I will have a nice chunk of change! However, with inflation (that is coming at us like a ton of bricks), I may have to use that $13.00 to buy a loaf of bread.

For them to even put that ($13.00) in writing is an insult. It's like when you do annual reviews for excellent employees who exceeded all expectations and you tell them they will be getting a 1% raise (because that's what the man told you they could have) and they sort of look at you like you are NUTS! (One time when I got a 3% raise I told my company to keep it because obviously they needed it worse than I did. I also quit and found a job paying $22 k more a year...LOL, divine justice!)But, back to employees, shortly there after they give you two weeks notice! Wouldn't it be nice if we could give the dimwits two weeks notice?

40% of the US population does not support the bill ........ that's alot of Americans.  Paints a different picture to look at the volume of people angry about this.

I don't think people are indifferent to the plight of people.  Americans are generous with words, money and hard work.  I believe people do not want to throw this money away on things like saving a field mouse in SF Bay Area, remodelling the Mall (which got thrown out), water parks, etc.  I don't think Americans would disagree with putting some of the refineries back on line -- they are old and the gas companies tell us that even if we had more gas, they can't refine it fast enough -- well why not fix that???

I don't think Americans would have faulted building wind mill farms or installing solar panels on federal buildings or state buildings -- provides work and saves money. 

How about making sure that the states spend the money on making sure the bridges and overpasses are safe? 

Funding any recreational activity or remodel is just like someone said before -- puttin' lipstick on a pig.

Good news, we do not legally have to pay our taxes:

Now after seeing this, if you can understand how, please explain it to me! LOL

There is something to be said for not paying our taxes.  Look where it got Geithner.  It has been tried by many, some are in jail, yep only Geithner has the inside scoop on how do it legally and get ahead.

Anyway, GM might be talking bankruptcy.  There goes our money as was predicted.  Or is this a ploy to get more money out of us?  They better hurry we're spending it faster then a speeding bullet. Or should I have said faster than a speeding train on its way to Vegas?
